Oh why would you need any correction? You're a humble, self-reflecting individual who does not know what the word patriotism means.

"They currently spend 1/6 the amount of money we do on their military. "

"by to say that the Chinese military industrial capabilities are "getting close" to the US is... just completely divorced from reality. "

Ah yes, the American attitude that only American can build cool technology.

You shouldn't ask engineers to dream up applications for their solutions, you should give them a problem and then let them build you the solution.

I mostly shoot film and my opinion on Kodak is that the current management wants to part out the company for a fat bonus. Kodak will then continue much like Polaroid has: As an empty shell with their names plastered over cheap electronic crap to catch the nostalgia laden Hipster.

For me the shaving with the safety razor has become sort of a morning ritual. Quite relaxing etc.

Yeah hot water / in the shower has a similar effect, though I find the sensation much better with some nice smelling shaving soap :)

Just as a point: You aren't supposed to put ANY pressure on the razor, just let it glide over the skin / shaving soap.

If you have a men grooming place nearby go there. They usually have samples of different shaving creams and you can try them out.

You can cut yourself with them if you tend to shave like a cave man.

Interessant. Es kann gut sein das das Schlupfloch bzgl. Zombies nicht mehr gilt falls die Gesetze umgeschrieben wurden.

The problem with the DHS is that like many large Government agencies it has a life of it's own. As you pointed out, the Patriot Act gives it a lot of leeway.

They're a hodgepodge of agencies and if any of it's tentacles twitches the entire body convulses.

They may want to but they still need to follow process. Germans are very big on processes.

Ne:

Whereas the RAF may have been on the left and sponsored by the Soviet Union, NATO had it's only little group of henchmen (and I presume women) run around the countryside playing war:

Difference between DHS and BMJP? The BMJP doesn't act on it's own. It needs to be "called upon" and then they investigate and finally decide if the item in question should be made available to persons of 18 or under.

"If this doesn't sound absolutely fascist, I don't know what does. "

Um,
